Nigeria has under 14/15/16 team! Iheanacho was part of that team too before he joined the under 17! I believe that is a good initiative than open trial during major tourney!

Kalakulu:

Osimhen has a spectacular record of missing key international matches/tournaments. Incredibly, the 2024 AFCON was the first international tournament in which he started a game for Nigeria 🇳🇬 (since making his debut 7 years ago!). In those 7 years, his only other tournament experience for Nigeria 🇳🇬 was playing a grand total of 45 minutes at the 2019 AFCON 5 years ago. He was also injured for the key World Cup qualifier against Ghana 🇬🇭 which Nigeria drew, and which meant Nigeria did not qualify for the World Cup.

He has an uncanny knack of getting injured or contracting Covid just before key international matches.

I'm sorry but the truth hurts, Osimhen is simply a player that CAN'T be relied upon in very important moments.

BREAKING:

Nigeria qualify for U17 AFCON
 
Nigeria finished in third place to scoop the bronze medals and book a place at next year’s Africa U17 Cup of Nations after a hard-fought 3-2 defeat of hosts Ghana at the WAFU B U17 Championship on Tuesday.
 
For several days now, there had been opacity around the number of teams that would proceed to the 2025 Africa U17 Cup of Nations from the tournament in Ghana, but the window opened for the third-place winner here when, minutes to kick-off, Cote d’Ivoire (already in the competition final), was designated as hosts of next year’s continental finals.
 
With Cote d’Ivoire as hosts and guaranteed a slot, Burkina Faso (no matter the result of the final match) and the third-place winner in the earlier game of the final day, were assured of berths in Abidjan.

That means Ghana might still qualify if CAF increase the number of slots. We have quality in the West African region. CAF should please scrap off this nonsense zonal qualification process.

We were not robbed ,stop being emotional

Messi “sold” d two penalties to our inexperienced defenders

Nomyth:


Seems Cote D'Ivoire is hosting the u 17 Afcon and by virtue of that have qualified automatically as host in that case, Nigeria has qualified.

Nice video and well laced.

For the team, the elements of play is there. There are promising signs. However, I have really not seen a standout talent yet. Someone that tickles my mind. The kind of feeling I got watching Musa Yahaya when he played.

Still early. Let us see how the team develops but I feel there is need for injection of more talents.

My only question is have we tried the two Victors enough in a 4-3-3 or 3-5-2 setup?

I'm hesitant to believe Osimhen and Boniface can't function in the same attacking lineup.

komekn:


VO is aggressively direct using pace as his main weapon not technical ability as well as aerial prowess.

Boniface is the opposite he is deceptive and unpredictable that is his unique selling point but not so direct.

I think it's question of who you are playing and what strategy you adopt.

I don't think they can play together, VO needs a pyramid structure with him as the point man. Where as Boniface can play a more intricate passing game and play more in.

TheSuperNerd:
From this team so far judging by their Wafu B performances, I would have to say Forward, Abdulmuiz Adeleke (#13) and Midfielder Simon Cletus (#10) are sure standouts. Not exactly Iheanacho/Nwakali/Osimhen/Yahaya-kinda standouts but those two truly are the top talents of this team so far.

Another interesting lad is Rapha Adams.

TheGoodJoe:


Even if U14-16 is done, each days of these should be characterized with open trials to build each zone. And still when the U17 comes up, we must still hold open trials in multiple zones.

Iheanacho's set still had open trials in the U17. We can't discard it. It delivered back to back U17 titles.

No country does open trail in this day and age with academies scattered everywhere!

CAF is really a confused entity.. according to reports, FIFA has expanded the u-17 world cup slot to 48 team.. that means more rep for Africa (reportedly 10 slots).. how are they planning to send 10 representatives from a 12 team tournament?
Abi there's something they haven't clarified?
